Here’s the long and short of how it happened and what he did to escape the situation.

Warning: Graphic

The alligator in question is an eight-footer and estimated to weigh in at 150 pounds.

The 34-year-old who has been wrangling at the Colorado Gator Farm for 10 years was grabbed for the first time while handling alligators. Co-workers had to pry the alligator’s mouth from McDonald’s hand using a metal pipe.

After a 10-minute long ordeal, he was freed and it wasn’t long before McDonald was wrangling alligators once again.
